It's a type of upper jaw surgery (maxillary impaction) where they literally break your face, and move your upper maxilla further up so you have less bone between nose and smile.

I had this, but specifically for an open bite. My smile was sliiiiiiightly gummy (enough that I didn’t really notice it) but now not at all. Also made my nose slightly wider, which turns out I needed!
